Hello,

How we can use lean tools to improve the food safety culture and the quality of our products?

 

I think about 5S, Red tag (defects) but i need more ideas

 

Any help please?

 

Thank you

Hi  

 

Not sure how 5s red tags could be useful for food safety culture but definitely will sort out my engineers graveyard ! 

Maybe Poka-yoke? most of them are for production productivity improvement.

5S is for cleaning also (remove all objects that could be a source of contamination for the product) and red tags (presence of leaking, wooden pallets in an area, broken tools and equipment that could impact the food safety...)

The use of lean tools for tracking non conformances and product details over time SHOULD lead to changes in process/personnel but you need to capture reams of data for it to be meaningfull
